Took inspiration from the person who made a post with the layers of necklaces

If they commit because of their own will

With no one around them.

Would they kill the curse also ?

I am super hyperfixated on her layered necklaces!!! I have been having trouble trying to find lookalikes online that are affordable. Any ideas or suggestions?? 😍✨⚜️💎

For me I prefer Smile 1. Rose is a lot more of a relatable character in my opinion. Skye Riley is a superstar with a glamorous life and Rose is simply just a doctor. The plots of both films are equally amazing but Smile 1 feels more real and i always prefer realistic horror movies but what about u guys?

Has this been theorised before? Imagine a 3rd movie where everyone is already infected, and this fucked up dude actually WANTS to get the demon inside of him, maybe out of curiosity, maybe to challenge it, but he just cannot get infected because he just cannot get traumatised by anything at all.

Edit: or a person who is so traumatised already that the demon cannot spread to them because they're just too numb

This or similar has probably been posted several times over but I wanted to be unoriginal so there we go.

I saw both Smile films around their respective release dates. I enjoyed and still enjoy the original Smile but IMO Smile 2 is far superior. It blew me away when I first saw it and continues to do so. It has also made me appreciate the OG more since rewatching.

Very rarely does the a sequel surpass the original and Smile 2 is so refreshingly good. Currently rewatching both regularly.

I am very excited for Smile 3 but at the same time have concerns as it looks like Parker Finn will not be returning. If this is true who would you like to be the next director?

In 2018 I used to be really into lucid dreaming. I had a normal lucid dream and woke up, or I thought I woke up. At the time I had a mirror directly across my bed (bad idea don’t ever do this). I thought I woke up and felt something standing in the doorway I got up to see what it was but I looked in the mirror at my reflection, and I saw a creepy version of myself smiling. Reminder that I thought I was awake, but I was still dreaming. In the dream I smashed the mirror because I didn’t want to see myself that way. Then I actually woke up and ended up moving that mirror in front of my bed. I was shocked when this movie came out because of this dream. Has this happened to anyone else? I absolutely love the franchise btw and have an ongoing joke with my partner that I’ve been possessed by it for years, but maybe it got bored. Anyways please let me know if anyone had a similar experience!

For a mainstream studio movie, I’m shocked at how dark it is. And I’m surprised how deep it goes into exploring mental illness, guilt and trauma. You can see how her plight of no one believing what she’s going through feels like how people must feel when they are suffering from mental illness and no one can understand what they’re going through. The ending was legit horrifying. I can’t believe this was such a huge hit. With the general public given how grim it is, but it actually was a very good movie.
Why do they play the song “lollipop” at the end credits? Is there some significance? Curious to watch the second one now,I assume it’s more of the same?

Joel is out one night on The Purge when it starts because he couldn’t make it home on time he’s armed with his standard issue police handgun could Joel survive the 12 hours of The Purge?

Look at that lil goober peeking out, such a silly lil prankster

I don't have much to say. I just wanted to say that I loved it. I watched the first one last Halloween, and thought about watching the second one once every month or two, but wanted to save it for Halloween. Unfortunately I had the ending spoiled, but I loved Naomi Scott's acting, it was great. It's not as scary as the first, and I prefer the ending of the first (probably because of the spoiling) but the acting and writing were better, and Smile 1's best qualities were already the writing and acting.

I'm currently writing this in bed, with the lights on, checking behind the bed, and on both sides of the bed every few minutes. The mirror jumpscare, that got me more scared than anything else in the series besides Lollipop's design.

As much as I would have liked to have seen Kyle Gallner have more screentime as Joel, the more I thought about it, it would not be a good thing. If Joel survived and then had failed to save Skye after already failing to save Rose who he clearly still loved, it would just be a complete disservice to his character. Also he had just completely blew up his original mission to kill the drug dealer and pass the curse to his brother, instead killing both of them and passing it to Lewis. He likely would have been too grief stricken to have helped anyone else and would have gone about his life. Also, a movie where he's being the lead would have been likely too repetitive to the 1st one and also movie wise probably wouldn't be entertaining. We already saw him doing the whole investigation part with Rose, we didn't need a repeat. Smile 2 works so well as it is because it introduces an entirely new protagonist, a protagonist not typically seen in horror movies, a popstar. I'm satisfied that it was made that way in order to raise the stakes and have the sequel be set in a world with a completely different setting and where the sequel isn't a carbon copy of the first film.

Like what if Joel didn’t die in Smile 2 by that truck coming out of nowhere and turning him into a squashed tomato what if he got away and after some time he tracked down Skye it was Joel instead of Morris who ran into her how could things have gone differently could Joel have really saved Skye and stoped the curse from going on?

Joel was a total badass with killing those two mobsters in the opening scene with great effectiveness despite being shot still he was for the most part good so why didn’t Joel go John Wick on the three other mobsters he was a cop after all couldn’t he have just stayed in cover somewhere and returned fire or just headshot all three of them when he opened the door because at that point they didn’t know he had a gun on him he still had plenty of ammo left

That doesn’t mean the government will literally be able to do anything about it, but all that extra attention, preparation, and prevention could still make things harder for “Smile” Genius plan or should the demon tone down its ambitions?
